KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A deck replacement project will fully close a Kansas City, Kansas bridge beginning this Friday. The Kansas Department of Transportation says the project will close the Shawnee Drive bridge over Interstate 635 to traffic on Friday, March 17, and remain closed until September. Detours for Shawnee Drive will be marked, directing traffic toward Merriam Lane and Metropolitan Avenue, according to KDOT. I-635 entrance and exit ramps at Merriam Lane and Metropolitan Avenue will be used as turnarounds for drivers on Shawnee Drive wanting to travel to the opposite side of the bridge.
